Monday oddities

These Zentangle tiles strike me as a bit unusual. The first is inspired by a quilt I saw a few months ago at a quilt show. The pattern, or maybe the quilt, was called Island Sunrise. I did a quick sketch of it on a Zentangle tile, then finished it at home later. I don't remember the colors of the quilt, but this black and white version makes me think of fireworks.

I had a different idea when I began this next one, then it went in its own direction. The large circle overlaps two string sections, and I'm not sure why I left it very white, with no shading.

I like them both, but I agree that the 1st one looks a bit odd for a Zentangle. It is so geometric that even though there are some flowing lines within the squares, it seems very rigid. And yet is full of motion. Very paradoxical. And fun.
